The expo
I have been wandering around in San Francisco for the last three days and I am still amazed at this city. Being from the big city of Chicago I am not used to the Europe flair, the degree of social interaction, and the auto commercials in which a woman is complaining about having to balance mortgage payments and managing her startup leaving her with no time to look for a new car. For someone who is passionate about the web and technology, this is definitely the perfect city. If there was only a way to facilitate a community in Chicago.
For the last two days I have been attending O’Reilly’s Web 2.0 expo. At first I was a bit cautious of a conference that highlighted a two year old buzzword, but I am found the conference useful nonetheless. I sat in on session from Jeremy Keith, Todd Friesen, Greg Boser, and Chris Messina. All gave great talks that really helped me. I look forward to what is to come in the next two days of the conference.
I haven’t been able to write too much up on it because I have been experiencing problems with Wordpress after I migrated to a new server at Media Temple. After a bit of troubleshooting it seems that all the primary keys stopped their auto increment. It was very strange. I also noticed the same thing on my Mint database. The problem is resolved now show I can post again.
There have been a lot of great links past around the conference that I will be sharing shortly on this site. Just so you know.
